  • Each SIM card may correspond to a subscription with a different service provider. Further, each subscription may be associated with one or more technology types. For example, a first subscription may support 2G communication technology such as Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), while the second subscription may support one or more 3G communication technologies such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). For various reasons, for example poor call or data reception, it may be advantageous to switch from one subscription to the other subscription.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile communications

  • SIM subscriber identity module
  • the communication apparatus may include: a control unit configured to control operation of the apparatus; a communication unit configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) communication signals; a first subscriber identity module (SIM) containing identification information for a first communication network; a second SIM containing identification information for a second communication network; an interface device comprising an input device configured to receive a command to perform manual public land mobile network (PLMN) search on an inactive subscription associated with one of the first SIM and the second SIM; and a determination unit configured to determine whether a data connection is enabled on an active subscription associated with the other of the first SIM and the second SIM.
